Just got this on Youtube a few mins ago. Not in season but editing was seriously delayed :laughing: (By my old computer)

What time of year was the video taken ?
I was surprised not to see mosquitoes and black flies.
You handle you BX like a pro, good job on your road construction.

Thanks for the compliment :) Video was made up from clips taken in July and Aug... the last clip was Aug 26. We do have the flies of course but they fluctuate in numbers from day to day and year to year. Big benefit around here is that we have a good strong wind a lot of the time :)

With water one foot below the surface is there any place to drain to? I think you are going to need truck loads of broken concrete for fill if you are going to use it for any thing other than a walking trail. You show good skill as a operator, but your tractor has its work cut out for it. I have a dog from your country and he is right there with me and my Kubota every day.

I've never had a Newfoundland but my brother has had two... great dogs :) I have about 40 feet of the boggy area completed with fill and gravel and it's holding up good. I've been throwing in weeping tile as I go along as I don't want to upset the natural flow in that area - lots of beautiful ferns, etc. and rabbits running wild there too.
